EVERYDAY DIGITAL ART
Lino. Photography. An archive of images.
I’m exploring my creative side after a career with numbers, creating colourful digital images through various media.
Use the post and homepage #hashtags to filter by media, theme or colour - or just explore randomly.
Lino prints are hand coloured and then digitally enhanced for colour balance.
Photography is straight out of camera.
There is a smattering of other media. Etching includes drypoint and tetra pack work, and together with ink works are similarly hand coloured before being photographed.
I’m calling this Everyday Art because I don’t pretend otherwise.
To each image I have added context notes, creating a history of my work. Naming has year and month to give an approximate timeline to the work, so I (and you) can see how it has developed over time. The good and the bad (well, there are gaps in the sequence so not the truly awful!) are all included.
My digital art (and stories) has been moved to dbwords.quotion.co
I’m not on social media yet.

After seeing little sprouts of mushroomy things rising in the grass, I thought I should do a picture on the same theme. So a simple Lino print that I did with 2 versions coloured differently. Techn

0234 - 2026.06 Grass Fire
I started this back in August 2025 but didn’t get to print it until June. Took a couple of attempts at colouring to get the sky dark enough, and it’s gone a bit blue in the photography and saturation

After 0147, I thought it may look nice in my lounge room, but the colours were wrong. Easily fixed! The previous print, Van Gogh’s cornfield, had faded and looked drab, but was in a very large frame

I haven’t done much Lino art over the last couple of months, so this was getting my hand back into it. The design is based on a dream, where the dream was more vivid and better, as if often the case.
